One random postcode, and a story you probably haven't heard before.

When producer Polly Weston arrives, she is met by a blocked road. Storms have brought down an enormous tree in the cemetery and taken out a wall, blocking her way into the postcode. A small crowd had gathered. It turns out, the cemetery is known locally as the travellers' resting place. St Mary Cray is thought to have one of the largest settled communities of Romani travellers in the UK.

Social media is full of disparaging comments about the road which the cemetery sits on, but conversations with locals tell a very different story. Initially struck by how the cemetery is cared for by the local community, Polly discovers a hidden history, and a culture around death and bereavement which is thought provoking and unique.
